Day 4

Everything speaks to me of You, O Lord. Complete, O Lord, the mystical death in me. Put to death every impulse, action, and intention that keeps me from You or prevents or beclouds my perception of You as anything but Love in my life. Consummate, O Lord, the mystical marriage You desire with me. Wed me to Yourself, that the deification of my person, which You have desired since before the world began, might be accomplished. Let Your theosis of me be accomplished, that I may become by participation in Your triune life what You are by nature. Make me a sharer, O God, in Your Trinitarian life, in the Communion of Persons that You are in Yourself. Make me so one with Yourself, O Lord, that in truth I can say with St. Paul, âIt is no longer I who live, but You who live in me.â Effect in me what You prayed for before Your Sacrifice: that we may be one, even as You and the Father are one. Despise not Your promise on account of my sinfulness and unworthiness. Let Your divine in-dwelling promised in Your Scripture and Tradition of the Fathers be actualized in me this day and unto eternity. Permit Your Holy Spirit â in and through Whom I ask everything of You and who teaches me what to ask of You â descend anew upon me and dwell permanently within me. May he make of me a perpetual Pentecost for the divinization of my person and for the conversion, sanctification, and salvation of others.

Yours I am and Yours I wish to be. Life has no meaning to me other than learning to be available to the inspirations and movements of Your Holy Spirit. With the holy Theotokos, I cry out: Fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum! Let it be done to me according to Your holy and inscrutable Will.
